As far as Aggie fans, I don't have an opinion yet. However, if they end up going on our capital for that Aggie yell thing, then my opinion will be negative. You don't come in and do something like that. Very disrespectful. I think we should fill the place up and blast sandstorm so that they don't have room, and they can't hear themselves think.

It's not being done at the capital to offend anyone or South Carolina. It's simply provides the platform for the Yell Leaders to be above the crowd to lead the Yells. It's interesting if you've never seen it and the Aggie faithful is as polite and nice as a fan base can be so hold off on the judgement.

Just because it is not meant to offend anyone does not mean that it doesn't offend. Do it somewhere else. Don't use the capital.

I always thought they were shortening 'cooter' which I'll let you consult Urban Dictionary for a definition. I'm sure that was the original meaning but younger Clemson fans looked up coot and saw the duck and thought that was what it meant.

Clemson fans are so stupid they can't even keep the meaning of their own insults straight.

This is the "correct" answer sadly. It's a play on our being called "The Cocks." They consider this comedy.

"Tater," on the other hand, is actually funny and based on facts about their program and its history.

But anyway, this is why you only hear the trashiest, low-class clemmons fans call us "coots." It's not exactly a clean joke.

Doubt it,Texas hasn't been owned by A&M like we've been doing to Clemson the past 5.

No team has "owned" Texas other than Oklahoma or LSU. A&M and Texas have a nearly 50/50 split in their football record since A&M became a University in the 70s. Before that, they were a small military college similar to the Citadel playing against a large University back in the day when there was no 85 man scholarship cap.

Well as a neutral party I see the overall record and the national perception of both programs.

Also just doing some research. The were renamed Texas A&M University in 1963 in which Texas had won 30 of the final 49 games.

Also for a program that is just a "small military college" that's pretty good for considering the 3 claimed national titles were before it became a big university.
